AFAIK the Ipod doesn't use silverlight. I was under the impression they are using HTML5 for it.
[EVO 4G General] TechniShawn:
The movies aren't in a "silverlight" format. Silverlight is just the language used for their player. Chances are the movies are just in a windows media or some other compatible format.

[EVO 4G General] zcarman:
You're right, and right... The majority of Netflix's content is recorded in an archaic WMV3 and WMA in ASF with WMDRM10 - becuase their hardware partners wanted it that way... Roku, LG, Samsung, TiVO and a few others to be a bit more specific.

The Silverlight player came out about 2 years back, if I'm not mistaken on the timeline, and was when they then implemented the 4 simlutaneous available streams - 500, 1000, 1600 and 2200kbps VBR...

The next step in line was the VC1 Advanced Profile encoding with PlayReady DRM, which teamed with the Silverlight player to lock the content completely - thus creating a 'Silverlight Format' using the Silverlight DRM, Powered by Microsoft PlayReady. - see this link for more information

So, basically, Netflix has built software for the iPod and iPad to translate these 'Silverlight Streams' to HTML5/H.265 if you will - as unofficial as that is at this point... HTML5 is not a secured file - and from the sounds of it, it cannot be secured leaving those that can load content to and from a PC out in the dark.

[EVO 4G General] mikejet:
so this just officially hit the market

https://market.android.com/search?q=Netflix&so=1&c=apps

link to apk so i can try on my mytouch :)
[EVO 4G General] quailallstar:
That market link didn't take me to the official app, but rather another one that looks like Netflix.

Here is the official: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.netflix.mediaclient

Side note: Someone be kind enough to post the APK once they download it? It obviously won't let me download it because the Vibrant isn't supported (yet). Even tried changing the Marketplace code to SPRINT (31002) but of course it knows what phone I'm using. :(
[EVO 4G General] SomethingMore:
Yes, please. Someone post the APK. The app isn't available to Canadians, even though Netflix has been in Canada for quite a while now.

[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Unlimited on At&t? Pretty sure they cut that out in what...2007...?

Also, only $10 per GB... so it's like $7.99 / month + $10 [times x multiplier depending on if I decide on more than one thing to watch that month].... all on a screen not even 10% the size of my TV.

Hmm...I'm not getting this logic.:rolleyes:

[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Yeah, a 4 inch display ... basically how I feel about 3D displays on a phone. :rolleyes:

Though catching a quick viewing on the phone is a bit different. I'm not gonna go through a whole season on this thing. Nice to have though. About time. Shout out to the Dexter viewer / comment. Just wish they had more seasons for more shows. Or a better selection of streamable content, as a whole.

Anyone else have success by changing the build.prop on the Thunderbolt?

I got some kind of DRM error.
[EVO 4G General] Vandelay007:
I got a could not connect error, before editing the build prop there was no error, just went back to the main screen.... I wonder if I'm having trouble because I am on sense 3.0?

Fantastic, grabbed it from the market, and it worked right off the bat! Didn't have to modify the build.prop file or anything else. :)
[EVO 4G General] decke003:
I watched it through HDMwIn... and it worked very well. The video skipped maybe 3 times during an hour long TV show. It looked like maybe 480p resolution if I had to guess. I have my nook color running it now, so I probably won't be using it much any more though.
[EVO 4G General] ScrapMaker:
Is anyone else disappointed with the video quality when connected over HDMI using HDMwIn? It looks pretty crappy. It's not outputting the same number of colors. My desktop background looks grainy, and the Netflix video looks 480p tops, with tons of artifacts/etc.

To me, the only use for this app is if you're at a friend's house and you need to display Netflix in a pinch... you wouldn't want to use this as a primary method of watching Netflix... it would drain your battery like nobody's business.

[EVO 4G General] bplewis24:
Thanks, that's good info.

[EVO 4G General] ivanberes:
Ok, works perfectly on the Defy. You have to edit the build.prop with Prop Editor (get it from the market). Just do as it's in the first post of this thread. I got it working in Germany with a simple US VPN. Unfortunately the Netflix app doesn't care about the Wifi DNS settings for some reason. Would be great to make it use custom DNS so no VPN would be needed to enjoy Netflix from outside US.

Sad - Netflix not working today. They're mucking with it again

:confused: Yesterday Netflix was working great on my G-Tablet but they must have done something again to disable the versions were using to access it. If you install the older versions that check for your phone type you can get in but as soon as you install and connect with the disabled version of the APK they stop you with the "Must Install A New Version" but of course the new version is not enabled for non supported phones or devices.

Not sure why this is such a big deal for them. I would think they would want to support their user base, especially since so many of us have been long-term Netflix subscribers. Maybe its time to find alternatives that don't put these kinds of restrictions on its user base.
